Chapter 2054 Avatar II?

To be honest, dramas like "Legend of Fallen Street" based on the background of the times were not very popular in the past, but it is different now. The mainstream moviegoers are actually not clear about what happened decades ago, at most they are Hearing people say that there is no clear concept at all, this makes them curious.

Coupled with the large-scale dedication of the actors, this drama can easily become a hit.

Only when there is a blockbuster TV series in the local area, can he boldly expand overseas markets. Yang Cheng took this step very cautiously. He didn't want to do something like picking sesame seeds and losing watermelons.

"By the way, boss, James' project will increase investment again, and I feel that Fox will not be able to sustain it." Donna said gloatingly.

"Huh? James' project? Avatar 2?"

"Yes, it is said that 50% of the work has been completed, but now it is necessary to increase the budget. Fox must have a headache. After all, James has a history of unlimited budget increases since the beginning of the big ship."

Yang Cheng pondered, "It is impossible for others to increase the budget, but he is James Cameron, I think Fox will give in in the end."

After all, in the eyes of industry insiders, Cameron is a director who can surprise people, so his request is worth a gamble.

Before Avatar was released, people didn’t have to worry about whether to watch movies in 3D or 2D, but movies are the art carrier most affected by technology. Technological breakthroughs can make the presentation of movies more diverse, but “Avatar” can make changes. The audience's viewing habits, this is undoubtedly a milestone work.

And this milestone work belongs to the man who conquered the world with a big ship. Isn't it worth taking a gamble for two successive great successes?

Cameron used the immature 3D technology at that time to complete a transformation with "Avatar", and "Avatar" did not live up to the trust, swept the box office of 2.788 billion US dollars, became the biggest winner in the history of world film, and changed the audience. While watching movies, it also turned 3D into a fixed shooting mode for later commercial blockbusters.

Of course, it has been 8 years since the release of "Avatar", but the sci-fi images in the movie are still vivid in my mind. The expectations for "Avatar 2" have reached the peak, but the technology needs to be polished, and so do people. No hot tofu.

With technological innovation, Cameron, who is a technology madman, will definitely try it, so it is understandable to increase the budget.

It is said that the live-action shooting of the second part is about to be completed. This series of shooting includes performance capture shooting and live-action shooting, and it is very complicated to shoot multiple parts together.

certainly,

The more complicated work is the post-production. This time it is a multi-part joint shooting. The material arrangement alone is enough to make people feel dizzy, and ordinary directors really can't manage it.

Cameron has prepared a total of 5 films for the world of Avatar, but this does not mean that the latter two will be released as scheduled. After all, Fox also wants to make money. If the box office of 2 or 3 is not as expected, there will be no latter two. .

The plot of "Avatar 2" took place five years after "Avatar". The protagonist Jack Sally has become the patriarch of a tribe of the Nami tribe on the planet Pandora, and he and his wife have a pair of lovely children, but at this time the earth has been destroyed. The destruction of human beings is horrific, and human beings have also set their targets on the planet Pandora. Jack has to face the problem of how to deal with the conflict between human beings and his tribe.

The plot is very simple, and the dramatic conflicts are also very clear, but everyone knows that watching Avatar is not about the plot, as long as you don’t have brain damage.

But Donna suddenly mentioned, do you have any ideas?

"You want to get involved?"

Donna didn't deny it, "I do have this idea, but I know it's unlikely~"

Yang Cheng nodded, "Fox won't allow us to share the cake."

"Yeah, but I'm thinking, since we can't participate, should we make a similar blockbuster? I mean the technical aspect~"

Yang Cheng was taken aback, and then thought, "You mean glasses-free 3D movies?"

"More than that, there are still 120 frames~"

"Hiss~" Yang Cheng took a breath, "Your idea is a bit bold~"

Eight years ago, Cameron put on a pair of glasses for moviegoers all over the world with the help of "Avatar". Today, after eight years, Kashen threatened to help everyone take off this pair of glasses. And he relies on naked-eye 3D+laser holography!

Glasses-free 3D, a display technology that flourished 5 years ago, was once forgotten in the corner because of the immaturity of the technology. At the current stage, if you want to enjoy 3D sensory enjoyment from a flat screen, you must How difficult is it to take off the glasses you put on through "Avatar"?

On this basis, we need to add 120 frames. Although Yang Cheng does not understand technology, he can also imagine the complicated problems he will face.

Hollywood is the place that likes to follow the trend the most. After seeing the popularity of "Avatar" all over the world, the major Hollywood factories have no idea of ​​following the trend?

Of course not, but why haven't we seen similar movies born so far? Because Cameron only has one.

Of course, the principles of technology and practical application are obscure and difficult to understand. Before the technology has really come into contact with the public, it is far from being able to "imagining" "Avatar 2" just by relying on the group of terms "120 frames + naked eye 3D + laser holography". What kind of height will the technology used in the film make the movie screen and movie viewing experience reach.

It may be difficult to make a follow-up work based on imagination alone.

But when it comes to 120 frames, you should be familiar with it. It is really not Cameron who made everyone familiar with this technology, but Li An, a great Chinese director.

Last year, his work "Billy Lynn's Long Halftime Walk" was screened using this technology. When watching the 120-frame version, he could clearly see every detail of the actor's face, not only pores, dark circles and Acne and other skin "flaws", as well as various subtle facial expressions, such as when the actor is emotional, the muscles in the jaw shake, the blue veins on the forehead pop up, or the eyes turn.

There’s a scene where Billy Lynn’s family is having dinner, and twice there are very small flies flying by, which would be hard to see in a regular version.

The filming process is to collect and record the light changes in continuous time as discrete static film images one after another.

In the projection stage, to make these static pictures "moving" again, it is necessary to apply the principle of persistence of vision of the human eye.

Experiments have shown that the visual persistence time of the human eye is about 0.1 second, so as long as the screen switching speed is greater than 12 frames per second, the human eye will connect the persistent image of the previous frame with the next frame to form a continuous image. visual experience.

This is how 120 fps was born.
